Chapter 171: Chen Aili is like a reel, Elizabeth helps
"Elizabeth" glanced at the policewoman and said, please.
The gold butler stepped back, and the police began to interrogate "Elizabeth".
"Miss Hecate, where did you go the morning before yesterday?" A big-bellied balding sheriff asked.
His eyes were always on "Elizabeth". Don't underestimate this big-bellied balding sheriff, he was able to find "Elizabeth" so quickly, all by carefully screening the auction house's surveillance video, and finding Harrant's black sedan from the information registered by Harrant was a man and a woman picked up at the Aifang Hotel. And the woman disappeared into thin air in the bathroom of the auction house. But according to the sheriff's experience, this woman most likely changed her clothes and went out, most likely the woman in a white suit who appeared out of thin air. This kind of behavior is simply suspicious! The sheriff immediately turned his attention to the man and the woman. But when he saw the strong identity background of "Elizabeth", he didn't dare to come nonsense, so he chose a peaceful way of investigation and inquiry.
Chen Aili had guessed that the police would find this place. Her little tricks can only deal with Wei Jiajun temporarily, and he will not be recognized, but they definitely can't withstand careful and meticulous inspection of surveillance footage and comparison and verification. As soon as the police are serious, she will show her stuff.
Originally, I thought that Michael would bid for it, and I was determined to win, and I would be able to go home immediately, but I didn't expect that something would go wrong halfway and I was caught off guard. Poor consideration and mistakes, this is where Chen Aili blames herself deeply.
"Elizabeth" nestled casually on the couch, crossed Erlang's legs, and kept trimming her scarlet nails with a nail file in her hand. She said lazily:
"We went to the auction house and looked at the lots we liked. I wore a wig and didn't want to be recognized. Otherwise, if it is seen by others, it will be hyped up again. At the auction house, I saw the personal representative of cousin George Hecate, Mr. David Wei, who also came to participate in the bidding. I didn't want to be seen by him, so I went to the bathroom and changed out. ”
"Oh? You're pretty well prepared. Just to not be recognized? The sheriff apparently didn't believe her answer, and looked at her with slanted eyes.
"I often have to dress up abroad, not just now. Do you want me to look at the treasures that I have loved for a long time? If it is spread by reporters, won't it provoke more people to bid with me and rob me? The auction house is happy to see it, and I'm going to spend the money in vain. "Elizabeth" is rightly speaking.
The bald sheriff with a big belly was speechless, thought for a moment and asked, "What about the man who was with you?" What is his relationship with you? He doesn't seem to be in the hotel? ”
"Yes, he went on a business trip to country H yesterday and he is my assistant. Come back the day after tomorrow, you can do it again. "Elizabeth" said very calmly.
"Are you suspicious of us? You must have checked the surveillance footage of the hotel the night before, and we haven't been out of the hotel since we came back from outside the afternoon the day before. At night, I also asked the gold medal butler to bring us hot milk. "Elizabeth" picked up the phone and prepared to call the gold butler to come over and confront him.
"Oh, yes, I don't have to." The big-bellied balding sheriff waved his hand and said. "Miss Hecate, would you mind if we could take a brief look at your room and that of your assistant?"
"Yes, but don't mess up my clothes." "Elizabeth" said.
The police searched the two rooms very carefully and found nothing, so they had to leave in a huff.
"I'm sorry, Miss Hecate, to interrupt. Please let us know when your assistant comes back, or if you can contact me if you have any recalls. Sheriff Potbelly handed over a business card with his contact information and email address.
"Elizabeth" smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll cooperate." Please keep it a secret for me, and don't reveal everything to reporters. She took the initiative to reach out and shake the sheriff's hand, and personally escorted them to the door, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and quietly put a locator the size of a grain of rice into the sheriff's pocket.
Looking at the departing backs of the policemen, "Elizabeth" knew that the sheriff would definitely leave someone to watch her and follow her. Sure enough, when she went down to the hotel restaurant in the afternoon, she found that there was always a man and a woman sitting nearby, pretending to whisper, but in fact observing her.
"Elizabeth" simply went back to her room after lunch and closed the door. She turned on her computer and received the results of Elizabeth, who was far away in Beijing, who had hacked into the auction house's surveillance system and the city's public transport surveillance system. Elizabeth sent these images to "Elizabeth".
That's great! Chen Aili still admires Elizabeth's ability to decipher the code.
"Elizabeth" nested in the hotel room and carefully looked through the surveillance video one by one. She found that the doors of the gray building had not been breached, and that there had been no abnormalities the night before, either from the auction house's own surveillance or from public cameras.
It is only possible for thieves to enter and exit through the back door. But no one went in that night, except for the employees who came out. Only the garbage collection truck stopped for a while. "Elizabeth" intuitively felt that there must be a loophole here.
Sure enough, she zoomed in on the video of the rear of the car facing the rear door to load garbage, and vaguely saw that the feet of three people appeared in the position of the rear tire at the bottom of the tail, and the camera only captured two people getting out of the car! It seems that one of the people had been hiding in the garbage truck, avoiding the cameras, and then changed into work clothes and just got in.
Surveillance showed that after nightfall, everyone was gone, and the back door was never opened. "Elizabeth" guessed that the thieves did not flee at night after they succeeded, but found a hidden and unexpected place in the gray building. It wasn't until the next evening that the garbage truck came to the back door again, and during the routine shipment, the thieves slipped out of the gray building.
When the auction house found out about the theft the next day, it must have only searched around the showroom, not thinking that the burglars were still in the building. The police were quickly attracted by "Elizabeth's" unusual behavior, and immediately remembered that the unusual man and woman had bad intentions, so they did not seriously review the footage in other parts.
"Elizabeth" immediately recorded this crucial passage and compiled it with the information obtained from the antique dealer who had colluded with the thieves during the night visit to the antique shop last night.
At the beginning of the day, the streets are full of colors. Signboards of various western restaurants, bars, cafes, and luxury stores are lit up. Accompanied by romantic guitar music, it stimulates the nerves of the human brain, makes people excited, and makes people feel that staying in the room is a waste of time.
